• Wave• Current• Wind

Wave LoadModule

Due to natural phenomena of specific importance:

• Earthquake• Snow, Ice• Temperature

TRANSPORTATION LOADS:

• The inertial forces beside gravityare generated due to motion of thevessel on which the structure ismounted due to combined randomeffects of wave, wind, current, etc.during transportation.

• The inertial forces are generally tobe computed using the appropriateperiod and amplitude by combiningroll with heave and pitch withheave

Computes Loads/Load Cases tobe used with STAAD.Pro

Use STAAD.Pro Results dueto wave loads to computeFatigue Damage of Joints

WAVE LOAD MODULE:

• Computes particle velocitiesand accelerations

• Computes design waveforces (drag & inertia) on 3-D structures in the global X,Y and Z-directions

• Sections include pipe, tubesand open sections such as I-beams, etc.

• Comply API RP 2A-WSD• Total Base Shear and

Overturning Moment arecalculated

• Calculate weight & submergedbuoyancy of structure

• Calculates COG & COB• Generates wave load cases, a

single buoyancy load case in anew STAAD.Pro input file,filename_wave.std

• Additional user supplied loadsand analysis commands can beadded to this STAAD.Pro file

Morison’s Equation on Slender (λ/D > 5) member

F(y,t) = FD + FI = ( )tVVVCVVAC drmD δδ

ρρρ ++21

Where,

FD = Drag force vector/unit length; FI = Inertia force vector/unit length

CD = Drag Coefficient;

Cm = Inertia/added mass Coefficient

ρ = Water mass density;

A = Projected area normal to axis/unit length (=D, forcircular cylinder)

V = Velocity vector (combined wave and current) normalto axis

Vr = Reference volume/unit length

Vd = Displaced volume/unit length


Morison’s Equation to Inclined Members• The drag and inertia pressure resultants are

assumed to act on the projected area of themember and resulting forces are then resolvedinto normal and tangential components.

• Resolution of the resultant drag and inertiapressures into normal and tangential components,the tangential components are ignored.

• Resolution of the resultant velocity andacceleration into normal and tangentialcomponents, the tangential kinematics aregenerally ignored.

• The drag and inertia pressures are assumed to acton the projected area of the member and the forceis then applied normal to the member axis.
